Hydrogels, soft and water-rich materials, have long fascinated researchers because of their potential in medical and ...

Researchers unveil a groundbreaking hydrogel that mimics human skin's ability to heal itself rapidly, revolutionising ...

Hydrogel dressings should not be used on moderate to heavily exuding wounds due to risk of maceration. Amorphous gels may become less viscous as they warm to body temperature.

The development of multifunctional hydrogel dressings with a well-designed morphology and structure can enhance their ...

Until now, artificial gels have either managed to replicate this high stiffness or natural skin’s self-healing properties, ...

A Chinese research team has developed a single-step femtosecond laser 4D printing technology that enables rapid and precise micro-scale deformation of smart hydrogels. This innovation, inspired by the ...
